Founded in 1888, the LTA promotes all levels of lawn tennis. The organization believes that tennis can provide "physical, social and mental rewards both on and off the court."[2] The National Tennis Centre (NTC) in Roehampton, south west London, serves as its main training facility. The Princess of Wales has been an LTA patron since 2017.[3] Its first president was seven-time Wimbledon champion William Renshaw.[4]
